Collection Disconnection #10 - Brave Boy + Giveaway!

We have reached the final layout in my Collection Disconnection series. That means this is the tenth layout I've created with the Crate Paper Wonder collection - and I've loved it!

You know how there are always a few die cuts from those huge die cut packages that you don't know what to do with? Maybe not always, but most times. I made a layout using up all of those die cuts.

I think that mixed media is a great way to get the texture of the die cuts, but cover up the bits that might not fit with the theme.

I put them all over the background and then put a few layers of gesso over the top and some ink. I love the way the ink pools up around the edges.

I layered some papers around the photo, and used some of the stickers and die cuts around the bottom and left hand side of it.

I used the chipboard word in combination with the Charm Thickers for my title. I layered it over the photo to make everything feel like it coordinates.

I stuck to blue and that melon color. I did this on a previous layout, but I think when you focus on just a few of the colors in the collection, you can make it look very different.

This layout tells a story that is dear to me. It documents a belief. Watch the video below to find out more! You can also watch it over on my YouTube channel.

GIVEAWAY

Leave a comment below (or in the comments for the video on my YouTube channel) telling me what your favorite layout from this series has been for a chance to win a $20.00 gift certificate to Scrapbook.com!

I've just started watching your videos over at YouTube and I have to say I love them. My favorite video so far is Collection Disconnection #9 - Ariel, love using embellishments to help tell the story. Thanks for sharing all you fab videos and the chance to win!

I think this one is my favorite (Brave Boy) because you had some really bold paper that you used as a base and it worked! I have not used gesso and watching you use it is giving me some incentive to try it. Also using the diecuts only for their shapes vs their colors is something I am going to remember. Thanks for the inspiration to use up those last little bits.

It was hard to choose. I was pretty impressed with how #10 Brave Boy turned out. I was a bit doubtful in the beginning, but as usual you hit it out of the park. You amaze me. I think I'm going to go with #3 Love Sweet Love though. The colors worked beautifully together and it's just so visually appealing. Awesome series once again!

So many greats from this series, but I have to say I am always at a loss for what to do with left over bits and pieces. This Collection Disconnection is definitely a favorite to figure out how to use up those extra left over things. TFS and inspiring! Hugs, Kristina

They have all been a great inspiration since I was creating along with you with the same kit! Maybe Cook boys is may favourite because that one really gave a different feel to the collection... Thank you so much for doing this and I hope you do it again soon :))

I think this series was a great idea, Jen, and I have enjoyed all the videos and resulting layouts. But I think my favorite was Love Sweet Love. I do a lot of my layouts with vintage family photos, and I love seeing how others use new products with older pictures. Thanks for all the inspiration! :-)Janice
